White’s response to this exploitation would be positive, because he would say that yes our environment is being destroyed and that the use of all chemicals causes our air and health to weaken. However, White ultimately blames us as being the cause of destroying the environment because we let this happen and don’t do anything to stop this contamination towards ourselves. Capitalists exploit our environment and the people just for their own benefit. Moreover, Tarter’s
Discuss critically religious and secular ethical arguments about environmental issues (35) In his book, 'The End of Nature', Bill McKibben highlights the fact that we are destroying the natural environment at an increasing rate, for our own short-term gain. Since the day that man created agriculture, and industrialisation to follow, the imbalance between man and nature has been growing. This has been accompanied by a massive population increase, tripling in the twentieth century alone. Human pressure on nature has never been so great. Such pressure has resulted in 'environmental issues', ranging from global warming and eutrophication, to the depletion of natural resources and an increase in the number of landfill sites.
Does individual perception play role in how seriously the threat of global warming is taken by society? Technology is improving the lenght and the comfort of life, but also destroys cultures and hides other serious risks. Supporters of the western culture stress on environmental efforts, but they don’t think about the less ecological aspects of western civilisation, which is enthusiastically adopted by the developing societies even though it has many destructive effects. Droughts, floods, hunger, deseases – some of those are due to the global temperature increase over the last 100 years (about a half C-grade per decade). What about us?
So all this waste are killing the planet. Greenhouse gases are gases that keep the heat from the sun in the earth atmosphere. Since the industrial revolution or the creation of factories, this gases have made the earth warmer and have created global warming. In the same. In my opinion I would said that the more methane is created the worse is for the planet since it would increase the temperatures.
Nature had given to homo-sapiens an authority to dominate and control the earth but homo-sapiens have abused this authority by harming nature itself. Therefore, we should change our relation with nature and civilization; we need to change our mentality by living in ecocentric world, not in anthropocentric civilization any longer. Anthropocentric worldview causes many problems also living with this mentality has many bad results and one of these results is global warming. Because of global warming temperature of oceans has increased four times that it had in 1900s. (http://www.ghf-ge.org/human-impact-report.pdf).
Greetings my friends, Family, and people of this nation, as you all know in these past years the prices on Fuel has gone up reaching record highs. Even prices on clothing, food, and paper has been going up and with these hard times around us, how are we to pay for these high prices on everyday items? . Forests are depleting slowly to make paper for use, in doing so we are losing food that come naturally and destroying our planet slowly. What if one plant could help fix out problem, one plant that can grow in any climate, on any part of the planet with little care, that gives back to the earth when it dies?
As I was reading the essay, I noticed the reoccurring theme of information and knowledge. This is perhaps the biggest example of “Cause and Effect” within the entire text. If people knew the harmful impact their actions had on the environment what would be the effect? If people were knowledgeable about our gratuitous consumption of earth’s resources we could provide a sustainable future for generations to come. But until then, we are digging a hole that may eventually be too deep to
In the rest of the essay, I am going to examine the problems and explain how they are significant to the United States and how they affect the future of America. In my point of view, air pollution, loss of historic language, customs and the threats posted by the submarine are difficulties and shortcomings that are discovered by Steinbeck. Irresponsible wastage and intensive industrial development lead to many kinds of environmental problems. “The mountains of things we throw away are much greater than the things we use. In this, if in no other way, we can see the wild and reckless exuberance of our production, and waste seems to be the index”(P26).
First of all to understand the importance of the Kyoto protocol there is a need to figure out what it’s all about and why greenhouse gases are considered so dangerous. After being produced by factories, machines, cars etc. these gases go up to the atmosphere, acting there as glass in a usual greenhouse – they let all the heat in but don’t let the heat out of the atmosphere. And the more greenhouse gases are produced, the more threatened our environment is. It causes global climate changes including the melting of glaciers, floods in one part of our planet and droughts in the other, heavy snowfalls, tsunami and other nature anomalia.
Although there are a lot of people not taking the consequences and their impact on global warming seriously, it`s already a huge danger thinking about future generations and the protection of humanity. Therefore humans have to understand that if they don’t improve their way of living they are going to destroy our planet. Firstly it’s important to mention that climate changes triggered by the nature have always been there. Due to naturally inevitable principles like the continental drift, variability in solar radiation, chain in the Earth's orbit and volcanic emissions, ice ages and temperatures like nowadays alternated. Scientists have correctly been showing that if we had no greenhouse effect the earth’s average temperature would be much colder and consequently human life would be impossible.
